"It does exist. Ancient medical texts record many similar occurrences, but because they date back too far, the art of using gu has been lost, and it is unknown what caused this resurgence."
"These two were transferred here from Xinjiguan Town, Wufeng City. Could they be related to what happened there" Dean Ma said cautiously, responding to Lao Li's question.
"Is it Wufen City Wait a moment, let me give you a call."
The mayor took out his cell phone, said something to the crowd, and then got up and left the meeting room.
A few minutes later, he pushed open the door and sat down on the chair again.
"I've asked, and the two people were taken away by an ambulance from Longgang Village in Xinjizhen. One of them was the village head of Longgang Village. Yesterday morning, they discovered an ancient tomb there."
"Yes, it should be that there were witch curses in the ancient tomb. After the tomb was opened, the witch curses also came with it."
Li Lao once again solemnly said in a deep voice, "Please ask the mayor to notify all villagers of Longgang Village to be quarantined. Anyone who has come into contact with the ancient tomb should be quarantined separately."
"Good!"
The mayor took out his phone and sent a text message. He looked back at Lao Li.
"Do you know how this pest spreads We need to take immediate precautions to prevent the situation from worsening!"
"Well, this Gu should be called the Bloodthirsty Gu. It spreads through skin and bodily secretions. The two people they came into contact with should have been the original Gu."
The original gu, after consuming a large amount of blood, will lay eggs rapidly. During the laying period, it will significantly reduce its craving for fresh blood. The young eggs will hatch in about 24 hours. At this time, the witch gu will control the host, making it crave fresh blood even more. After sucking a large amount of blood again, it will lay eggs, and the cycle continues.
"Ordinary people can generally only withstand two egg-laying cycles. When the host's body can no longer accommodate more eggs, the hatched grubs will leave their original host and seek out a new one."
Before completely draining the new host's blood, they will remain hidden until their need for blood can no longer be met by the host. At that point, they will once again control the host to seek blood, after which the transmission peak period will begin.
The mayor, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the police chief listened to Lao Li's words, their expressions growing increasingly serious. Their faces were somber, as if they were about to shed tears.
At this moment, the two monsters vanished together. It was obvious that the primordial silkworm had already laid its eggs.
If those two people carrying the original gu worms cannot be found in time, a huge disaster will befall the entire city of Zhongzhou!
"So far, we have about a day and a half left. There are almost 20 million people in Zhongzhou City. If we can't find them in time, we're ready to commit suicide as an apology!"
The Party Secretary stood up, looked at the Mayor and the Police Chief, "I'm contacting the Publicity Department now, and we should be ready for evacuation at any time!"
"I contacted the association and asked them to give their full support!" The mayor also stood up and said.
"I contacted the police forces in neighboring cities and requested immediate support!"
"I do my best to treat people infected with witchcraft curses."
"I... I'll cooperate fully!"
President Ma saw them all stand up, as if accepting a mission. He thought about what he could do, but he couldn't do anything. He could only cooperate fully.
The other four simultaneously looked at Dean Ma, which made him incredibly embarrassed. However, the four didn't say anything, after all, there wasn't much Dean Ma could do, no, it should be said that there wasn't anything he could do.
As everyone dispersed, attending to their own affairs, Li Lao stopped Dr. Ma who was about to leave and gave him a final reminder.
"The bacterial culture needs to be done as quickly as possible. You have nothing else to do, just focus on this. This is our only chance to understand the original grub."
"No problem! I'll go urge them right away."
When Dean Ma heard that he was still of some use, he immediately patted his chest and assured them.
Li Lao nodded, then turned and left.
On the other side, Wang Lin was now carrying a large bag of things and had just gotten off a taxi.
The high-speed rail station wouldn't let him bring the baby and scissors onto the train. He had no choice but to take a taxi back to Ziyun District.
Having packed up her parents’ "love" and looking at the mountain of food in the refrigerator, Wang Lin let out a heavy sigh. “Sigh! Didn't want to bring them but they insisted, we won’t have to go out for meals for a whole week now.”
He had just finished resting until noon, heated up some dishes and was about to eat when Zhang Meng's phone call came in.
When he learned that the village chief and the Taoist priest had undergone a change, he breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he had been careful at the time. Otherwise, he would be the one undergoing a change now.
The two made an appointment to meet at the branch, but Wang Erpao was still asleep. Li Jianguo and his squad received other assignments and left two weeks ago.
Currently, there are only two members of the association in Zhongzhou City. Zhang Meng kept muttering that Wang Erpao might become a vegetable and never wake up again.
Wang Lin looked at his senior with a complex expression, unable to say anything. He could only take the initiative to ask about the anomaly.
Zhang Mengze told Wang Lin everything in detail about the changes that happened this morning and the original Gu.
After Wang Lin understood the ins and outs of the situation, he cursed inwardly.
"NND, how did I cause such a mess Even if I didn't dig up the tomb myself, the Taoist would have done it anyway. But after all, I was the first to dig through the tomb, so the responsibility is definitely mine. Ai! All I can do is try my best to make amends."
After a brief discussion, they decided that since Zhang Meng was a perception-type ability user, Wang Lin wouldn't separate from him. The two of them formed a team to search for the primordial gu together.
As for the association's subsequent support, it will be directly coordinated by the mayor; those two small fry won't have any say in it.
Zhang Meng took two sets of protective clothing out from the trunk, threw one set to Wang Lin, and was just about to put on his own when he heard Wang Lin's helpless voice.
"We don't need to wear them now, do we Those things are transmitted through skin and bodily fluids, not the air. We can put them on when we find them."
Zhang Meng thought about it and felt that what Wang Lin said was reasonable. Now it's summer, and under the scorching sun, wearing this would not only attract attention but also be likely to cook in the protective suit after a while in the sun.
He opened the car door and tossed the protective suit to the passenger seat. “Get in, you sit in the back, keep the suit next to you, find those two monsters and take them out.”
Wang Lin also reminded, "That Taoist-dressed fellow, I estimate we can't handle him. When the time comes, don't be impulsive and startle the snake. We should request support first."
Zhang Meng heard Wang Lin's words and was a little curious, "Do you know that Taoist priest"
"Well, met once. Should be a Awakener. After being strengthened by the primordial Gu, his strength should skyrocket. We'd better be careful and wait for reinforcements before taking him down all at once!"
"Okay, I'll do it!"ed on her.Let's get back to Wang Lin's side."Alright, little brother, the competition doesn't start until tomorrow. We have plenty of time. How about I take you out for a stroll"“Sure, I have nothing...
